Musings from the Manipulation Chamber {I}

“Do I starve you emotionally?” I hit send and tried to calm my racing heart. The time to come clean to my boyfriend and myself had come, and I could not pretend any longer. For weeks, I had flirted with the various ways I could have asked the question. …

Everything is Working Against You

This post is clearly unedited. Please forgive me in advance for whatever solecism would be found under- because, trust me, they are in abundance. I am much too lazy to edit it and I am also kind of sleepy. Enjoy today’s rant! — Today a popular twitter user fell under fire and brimstone because of his reply to a comment on one of his posts.

I am not crazy I am definitely not crazy I could be anything, but definitely not crazy. Let’s proceed.

You didn't show up on your day.

Anxiety: The Time has come

This is for you, the only one who never left, I think our time has come to an end. — We met when I was a kid, like an unsuspecting deer, you swept me up in your arms and gobbled the hell out of me.

The Trials of the Unfortunate “Almost”

Right now, I am lamenting the “almost” that quite literally upended my life. — The first time he touched me, I was 8, he had been in my mind way before then. I still cry when I think about why he did not go all the way, then the stigma would be complete. I feel invalidated when I met people that would say “atleast…
